Hi all

Just a quick update showing recent vehicle additions and using up left over bits and pieces of plastic parts and card to make up part of depot stores and signals workshops and stores. Also a quick peek at some new signals and gantries I’m constructing using plastic card, left over ratio parts and some scale model scenery walkways, with all working signals. Just have a little more work to do on some parts, then fit and connect to control panel,

Thanks for looking in TDR

Always a joy to see this layout develop,the scissors crossover really adds flexibility to the operation of the MPD.  

Well done Raymond.

Thanks Noel, the crossover was made by Patrick Nichols in England from peco points, a real superb piece of work, professionally put together into one piece

Hi All

Some more progress on the layout, ballasting completed, track weathered, signals connected and working, spent an hour our two cleaning track today after the weathering stick passed over, so NIR 112 was put on cleaning duties and assigned to the CMX withfull tank of fluid, whilst an old Q kit Hunslet body on an Athearn F7A Chassis has been on trials having been converted to DCC, very pleased with the results.

Regards TDR

Hi All,

Just thought I’d share a few pictures and short video of my railway Den. Spend most of today tidying under baseboards, so during the coming winter months I can finish installing and electrifying the remainder of points and signals also finish constructing the drawer system under the boards where twelve 2ft x 2ft drawers will hopefully house the remaining stock. Hope you enjoy

This is just mind boggling, for someone like myself, working on a 6' x 2' board, which fits in a 6' x 2' alcove and gives me so much enjoyment. Imagine having a 'railway den', it must be heaven, and all that stock and track diagrams and sophisticated control. Hats off to you Raymond. You're a lucky man, enjoy.
